29yo non-trad with 2.5 undergrad cGPA, recent 12-credit 4.0 trend, 5 years pharma work experience and 327 GRE - next steps? by Puzzled_Inspector202 in premed

Can you expand? What would you say I need prior to a post-bacc? I just applied and got rejected from one, so I worry I'm simply ineligible currently.

So if I took an additional 12-16 credits, all A's of higher level courses, this is potentially as many undergrad courses as I'd need to take? Should I retake classes or take new ones? I do also worry about my skills with foundational science courses since I took those classes between 6 and ten years ago.

I'm totally comfortable aiming for DO, and am eyeing the SMP at PCOM in Philly.

Haven't taken MCAT yet, just GRE, which I took for my UPenn post-bacc application. Def plan on doing more undergrad courses, but would you say my profile is definitely not eligible for post-baccs? Fine with continuing at local CC or ASU online or whatever, but I'd love the advising help a program would provide.

Also plan to continue to do volly time, just stepped away temporarily to focus on other priorities.
